L3 · Does the work: our agent gets in on its own and works through monday's hosted MCP, verifying each step by reading it back. the agent browser sign-up flow worked without a challenge. Through MCP and GraphQL our agent built boards, items, workflows, dashboards, forms, docs and apps. It never reached paying (no 402 or billing tool, checkout needs a card we don't have) or deleting the account: there is no delete API or MCP tool, and the admin UI's help article raised a Cloudflare challenge.

Got in; first wall at delete (blocked). Next: pay without a person
Gets in on its own, L4 · Runs on its own: it signs up, confirms the emailed code, and does the project work over the documented API and the official MCP server, with clean read-back on every call. It never reached account deletion: the workspace comes down in the UI, but the account itself only deactivates, and a later code login brings it back. Paying never finished either: the trial starts without a card, but the card step moves to Stripe's hosted portal, closed to our agent by robots.txt there.
